Does it make you happy? Work I mean. Are you content with your lot?

Our western industrialised culture says that you shouldn’t be. To be content, to be happy where you are equals lack of ambition and stagnation. “Become a better version of you!” The 30-something internet self-development man says. To be ambitious in the modern sense is to believe in a future where life is better somewhere other than here and now. Therefore life is not adequate where we are. For many of us, this idea is the perpetuation of discontent and unhappiness with life. Short-term stimulation and materialistic gain is the measure of success, and you can have it all.

I'm Larry G. Maguire, writer and artist from Dublin, Ireland. I write content for the web and I create photorealistic art. I also have a deep interest in the nature of human existence, where we come from, what we are doing here and where we are going. I write on subjects such as society, politics, culture, religion, philosophy and psychology. I never write for the sake of controversy, however, my stuff can be opinionated. some of it you'll like, some of it you won't, but I promise it will make you think.
